What is on your mind, that is to say, what you focus on, is what will shape and justify your experience of yourself, of others, and of life.
More people are becoming increasingly aware that how and what they think creates their experience. However, for many who are in great emotional pain the connection might not be so apparent.

Welcome to Dialectic Magazine. This is a new online magazine that will have a wide ranging focus on the endless interaction of conflicting ideas that make up the rich paradoxical nature of experience.
There are many types of paradox. In and through each and every paradox what is being sought after, found, processed, or realized is some measure of what is true. The more we can bring an awareness of what is true in our lives, what is authentic, the more we can enrich our intellectual, psychological, and spiritual experience of the here and now.
Articles, essays, interviews, poetry, prose, fiction and non-fiction will provide an eclectic blend of information, food for thought, and entertainment.
As Sir Frances Bacon once said, “Knowledge is power”.
